I could start out this blog by telling my audience all about me. My age, what I do for work and fun, how exciting of a person I am and all of that non-sense. Well...maybe I can fill you in later.
This year in January, I made a goal like most people do after their drunken New Years' parties. I made the goal that I would read 50 books by the end of December 2014. I haven't read in a long time and wanted to get back into it. Reading makes me happy...getting lost in stories and characters...escaping reality for a few hours a day.
Since the beginning of January, I have read 10 books.
- The Red House by Mark Haddon
- This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Trooper
- A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen
- The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
- Everything Changes by Jonathan Trooper
- The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
- The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
- One Last Thing Before I Go by Jonathan Trooper
- The First Phone Call From Heaven by Mitch Albom
- Never Have I Ever by Katie Heaney
I have been told that I have been reading too fast by a few people, that I should slow down (I guess that ten books in less than two months is quite the accomplishment). My boyfriend brought up that I should be writing reviews for every book that I read and track this challenge through a blog form.
So that is why I am here. I am going to start writing reviews after every book that I read (I will also write reviews for the past ten books) and share all these wonderful and not so wonderful books with you! I am hoping to run polls and asking for suggestions for what I should read next! This should be a fun one year journey. :)
Rebekka.
